This year’s Charity of the year for Hart Learning Group is
Garden House Hospice Care.
Garden House Hospice Care provides specialist palliative care for patients, families and carers facing life limiting illnesses, to enable them to have the best possible quality of life by providing care and support in the setting of their choice, without discrimination.
Garden House Hospice Care follows a philosophy of care with following
principles:
- To work as a team of both professional staff and trained volunteers dedicated to developing and maintaining the highest quality of compassionate care in co-operation with other agencies.
- To make available a support system following the diagnosis of a life limiting condition, to help patients live as actively and creatively as possible, aiming to enhance their quality of life.
- To integrate psychological and spiritual care for patients.
- To respect the choices and wishes made by patients and their families.
- To work to help the families and important others cope with patients’ illness and in bereavement.
- To affirm life and regard death as a normal process; not seeking to hasten or to postpone death.
